" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to amplify my impact, collaborate with change makers, and turn sustainable food system ideas into real solutions that improve livelihood in Ghana. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: GO GREEN, GO CLEAN
As a part of this project, we converted used car tires into functional seats to reduce the harmful effects of burning tires, a contributor to climate change, in Ghana. So far, we repurposed about 102 tires, though additional funding is needed to scale the project and improve the design and finish of the seats.
